REDWOOD HIGH SCHOOL
Redwood High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Sequoia Union High school district, located in Redwood City, CA with about 222 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, Redwood High has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
Redwood High, located at 1968 Old County Road in Redwood City, California, is a specialized alternative high school within the Sequoia Union High School District. The school is designed to support students who may benefit from a more personalized, smaller learning environment than what is typically found in larger, traditional comprehensive high schools. Its mission focuses on academic recovery, credit completion, and preparing students for post-secondary success through individualized attention and a supportive educational culture.
The campus offers a focused curriculum that prioritizes core graduation requirements while fostering a close-knit community atmosphere. By maintaining smaller class sizes and lower student-to-teacher ratios, Redwood High provides its students with the flexibility and direct guidance necessary to overcome educational hurdles. The school is dedicated to empowering students to achieve their high school diplomas, build confidence, and transition effectively into college or career paths after graduation.
